About Casa Mariol:
When you’re raised in a beautiful mediaeval village of two thousand inhabitants, surrounded by vineyards and in the heart of a family that makes wine, you quickly realize that you were born to do this. That’s what generations of people who’ve been living and working in Casa Mariol for over a century have thought each day when they while working on their vineyards. In Batea, the village in question, vineyards and wine are a religion, and Casa Mariol is the home of its pious parishioners.
The village’s inhabitants live in houses that were built centuries ago to store wine. They take care of the fields as if these were their gardens, and the celebrations of their patron saint, San Miguel, are postponed so as not to coincide with the grape harvest. If we were to compare it with a contemporary example, we might say that Batea is a village where the trending topic is the grapevine, and tweets are taken literally.
